Field notes
Wherever the numbers reveal something worth understanding, I write it down: energy systems, data stories, human performance, commercial intelligence. The world-moving systems that fascinate me, plus the occasional human experiment.
Surface temperature, satellite observations, atmospheric CO₂ and the electricity mix form a chain from measured climate change to practical response.
Energy SystemsA whole-of-economy view of Australian energy connecting the electricity mix with state pathways, industry demand and petroleum exposure.
Cleaner electricity is the foundation of Australia's transition, not its completion. State pathways, industrial energy use and petroleum dependence show that a successful power-sector policy does not automatically become an economy-wide one. The transition becomes real …

A national renewables percentage hides a country running five or six genuinely different transitions at once, split by state, resource mix and network access. Australia's next unit of transition value will increasingly come from connecting and …
